Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a national stage entry under 35 U.S.C. §371 of PCT/EP2013/056466, filed on Mar. 27, 2013, which claims priority to EP Application No. 12161723.7, filed on Mar. 28, 2012. The content of PCT/EP2013/0056466 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel heteroaryl compounds, in particular for use as medicaments, more specifically as medicaments for animals, in particular non-human animals. The medicament can preferably be used for the treatment of helminth infections. This invention also relates to uses of the compounds to make medicaments and treatments comprising the administration of the compounds to animals in need of the treatments. Moreover this invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the compounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Parasitic diseases in animals cause substantial suffering and economic losses throughout the world. Thus, treatment of parasitic infections remains an important global endeavor. The causative organisms include helminths, such as nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes. These organisms can infect, for example, the stomach, intestinal tract, lymphatic system, muscle tissues, kidney, liver, lungs, heart, and brain of animals.
There are many known drugs (or “anthelmintic agents”) available to treat various helminith parasite infections, see, e.g., McKellar, Q. A., et al., “Veterinary anthelmintics: old and new,” Review: Trends in Parasitology, 20(10), 456-61 (October 2004). These anthelmintic agents treat specifically either nematode, cestode or trematode infections or have a broader anthelmintic spectrum. An example of an anthelmintic agent with sole effect on cestodes (tapeworms) is praziquantel. Some primary nematicidal compounds like fenbendazole, mebendazole, oxfendazole, albendazole have a broader spectrum than nematodes and treat cestode infections as well. Closantel, rafoxanide and triclabendazole are examples of specific compounds for the treatment of trematode infections (flukes).
While many parasitic infections can be treated with known drugs, evolutionary development of resistance by the parasites can render such drugs obsolete over time, see, e.g., Jabbar, A., et al., “Anthelmintic resistance: the state of play revisited,” Life Sciences, 79, 2413-31 (2006). In addition, known drugs may have other deficiencies, such as limited spectrum of activity and the need for repeated treatments.
In WO 2008/028689 A1 certain N-(1-phtalazin-1-ylpiperidin-4-yl)amides are described as EP2 receptor modulators. WO 2008/028691 A1 discloses as EP2 receptors certain N-(1-hetaryl-piperidin-4-yl)(het)arylamides.
WO 2006/061147 discloses certain 1-phenyl-3-piperazine-pyrazoles for the control of pests including helminths.
There still exists a need for new medicaments, such as antiparasitic agents to ensure safe, effective, and convenient treatment of a wide range of parasitic helminth infections over a long period of time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly, this invention relates to compounds that can generally be used as a medicament for animals. The compounds correspond in structure to formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, N-oxides or prodrugs

In some instances, a salt may be used as an aid in the isolation, purification, and/or resolution of the compound. Acid and base salts can typically be formed by, for example, mixing the compound with an acid or base, respectively, using various known methods in the art. To the extent a salt of the compound is intended to be administered in vivo (i.e. to an animal) for a therapeutic benefit, the salt is pharmaceutically acceptable.
Salts may also be of advantage in the synthesis of the compounds according to this invention. For instance certain intermediates may advantageously be used in form of their salts in the preparation process of the compounds according to this invention.
In general, an acid addition salt can be prepared by reacting a free base compound with an approximately stoichiometric amount of an inorganic or organic acid. Examples of often suitable inorganic acids for making (pharmaceutically acceptable) salts include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, carbonic, sulfuric, and phosphoric acid. Examples of often suitable organic acids for making (pharmaceutically acceptable) salts generally include, for example, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic, heterocyclic, carboxylic, and sulfonic classes of organic acids. Specific examples of often suitable organic acids include cholic, sorbic, lauric, acetic, trifluoroacetic, formic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, gluconic, digluconic, lactic, malic, tartaric acid, citric, ascorbic, glucuronic, maleic, fumaric, pyruvic, aspartic, glutamic, aryl carboxylic acid (e.g., benzoic), anthranilic acid, mesylic, stearic, salicylic, p-hydroxybenzoic, phenylacetic, mandelic, embonic (pamoic), alkylsulfonic (e.g., ethanesulfonic), arylsulfonic (e.g., benzenesulfonic), pantothenic, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic, sulfanilic, cyclohexylaminosulfonic, β-hydroxybutyric, galactaric, galacturonic, adipic, alginic, butyric, camphoric, camphorsulfonic, cyclopentanepropionic, dodecylsulfic, glycoheptanoic, glycerophosphic, heptanoic, hexanoic, nicotinic, 2-naphthalesulfonic, oxalic, palmoic, pectinic, 3-phenylpropionic, picric, pivalic, thiocyanic, tosylic, and undecanoic acid. In some such embodiments, for example, the salt comprises a trifluoroacetate, mesylate, or tosylate salt. In other embodiments, the salt comprises a hydrochloric acid salt.
In general, a base addition salt can be prepared by reacting a free acid compound with an approximately stoichiometric amount of an inorganic or organic base. Examples of base addition salts may include, for example, metallic salts and organic salts. Metallic salts, for example, include alkali metal (group Ia) salts, alkaline earth metal (group IIa) salts, and other physiologically acceptable metal salts. Such salts may be made from aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and zinc. For example, a free acid compound may be mixed with sodium hydroxide to form such a base addition salt. Organic salts may be made from amines, such as trimethylamine, diethylamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine (N-methylglucamine), and procaine. Basic nitrogen-containing groups may be quaternized with agents such as C1-C6-alkyl halides (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g., dimethyl, diethyl, dibuytl, and diamyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g., decyl, lauryl, myristyl, and stearyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides), arylalkyl halides (e.g., benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others.
A solvate of a compound according to the invention may be formed by aggregation of said compound according to the invention with solvent molecules such as water, alcohols, for example ethanol, aromatic solvents such as toluene, ethers, halogenated organic solvents such as dichloromethane, preferably in a definite proportion by weight.
An N oxide of a compound according to the invention may be formed by oxidation of an N-atom in an amine or N-heterocycle such as pyridine by oxidation agents such as hydrogen peroxide, peracids or inorganic oxidation agents such as potassium peroxymonosulfate (oxone). In preferred N-oxides a nitrogen atom in the group of formula II or III is oxidized, more preferred are N-oxides wherein the nitrogen atom in the group of formula II oxidized giving, for example, a pyridine N-oxide, if one Y1, Y2, Y3 or Y4 is N.
This invention also encompasses prodrug derivatives of the compounds according to the invention. The term prodrug refers to compounds that are transformed in vivo to yield the parent compound of a compound according to the invention. In vivo means that in the case of, for example, treatment of a parasitic infection this transformation can occur in the host organism and/or the parasite. Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art. For example, if the group of formula (A) represents a pyridine, it is possible to form pyridinium salts such as, for example, acyloxyalkylpyridinium salts, which can offer advantages in terms of higher solubility for parenteral dosage forms, which are described in S. K. Davidsen et al., J. of Med. Chem. 37 4423-4429 (1994). Other examples of possible prodrugs are compounds that form the double bond present in formula (I) and (V) by elimination from a saturated precursor compound:
Figure US09260441-20160216-C00006

Elimination of MQ will generate compounds of formula (I) or (V). If M is hydrogen, this type of elimination is also known in the art as retro-Michael reaction or retro-Michael addition. Examples of such retro-Michael reactions that occur in vivo to generate unsaturated compounds are described in, for example, S. C. Alley, Bioconjugate Chem. 19, 759-765 (2008); D. Lopez, Abstracts of Papers, 231st National Meeting, Atlanta, Ga., United States, Mar. 26-30, 2006, MEDI-292.

In some embodiments, a compound according to this invention may have two or more isomers, such as optical isomers or conformational isomers. For example, the compounds can have a (E) or (Z) configuration at the —CXR3═CR1R2 double bond. In some preferred embodiments, such compound has the (E) configuration, in other embodiments, the compound has the (Z) configuration. In a preferred embodiment the compounds have (E) configuration. For instance the compounds of formula (V) and the compounds of Tables B, C, D, E and most of the compounds of table A below exhibit (E) configuration.
Unless otherwise stated, a compound structure that does not indicate a particular conformation is intended to encompass compositions of all the possible conformational isomers of the compound, as well as compositions comprising fewer than all the possible conformational isomers. In some embodiments, the compound is a chiral compound. In some embodiments, the compound is a non-chiral compound.
Treatment Methods Using Compounds According to this Invention
The compounds according to the invention and pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, N-oxides, salts and prodrugs thereof are for use as a medicament for animals. In some embodiments of this invention, one or more, preferably one compound according to this invention is administered to treat infections, in particular a helminth infection of an animal. In one embodiment one or more, preferably one compound according to this invention is administered to treat parasitoses of an animal.
The term “(parasitic) infection” includes conditions associated with or caused by one or more (parasitic) pathogens; said conditions include clinical conditions (parasitoses) and sub-clinical conditions. The term “treatment of parasitic infection” thus includes both the treatment of parasitoses and the treatment of sub-clinical conditions. The treatment of a parasite infection generally implies the suppression of parasite (e.g. helminth) burdens in the animal below that level at which economic loss occurs.
Sub-clinical conditions are typically conditions not directly leading to clinical symptoms in the parasite infected animal but leading to economic losses. Such economic losses can be e.g. by depression of growth in young animals, lower feed efficiency, lower weight gain in meat producing animals, lower milk production in ruminants, lower egg production in laying hens, or lower wool-production in sheep.
The term “parasitoses” relates to clinically manifest pathologic conditions and diseases associated with or caused by an infection by one or more parasites, such as, for example parasitic gastroenteritis or anemia in ruminants e.g. sheep and goats or colic in horses.
In general, the prevention or treatment of parasitic infection including parasitoses is achieved by administering one or more, preferably one compound according to this invention to treat a parasitic infection such as a helminth infection.
Thus the invention provides a method of treating a (parasitic) infection such as a helminth infection, including parasitoses, which comprises administering to the animal an antiparasitically, preferably an anthelmintically, effective amount of one or more compounds according to this invention. Preferably nematode, cestode or trematode infections are treated, more preferably nematode infections.
“Treating (parasitic) infections” includes treating parasitoses and means to partially or completely inhibit the development of (parasitic) infections of an animal susceptible to (parasitic) infection, reduce or completely eliminate the symptoms of infections of an animal having infections, and/or partially or completely cure infections of an animal having infections. This can be achieved by alleviating or reducing pathogen numbers such as parasite numbers in an animal.
The effect of the compounds according to this invention can be e.g. ovicidal, larvicidal, and/or adulticidal or a combination thereof. The effect can manifest itself directly, i.e. killing the parasites either immediately or after some time has elapsed, for example when molting occurs, or by destroying their eggs, or indirectly, e.g. reducing the number of eggs laid and/or the hatching rate. Alternatively the parasite is not killed but paralyzed and is then dislodged and excreted by the host animal.
In another aspect the present invention thus provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anthelmintically effective amount of one or more, preferably one compound according to this invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions according to this invention are useful in treating parasitic infections such as helminth infections of animals. An “effective amount,” is the amount or quantity of a compound that is required to alleviate or reduce parasite numbers in an animal, and/or to inhibit the development of parasite infections in an animal, in whole or in part.
This amount is readily determined by observation or detection of the pathogen numbers such as parasite numbers both before and after contacting the sample of pathogens such as parasites including their stages with the compound according to this invention, directly and/or indirectly, e.g., by contacting articles, surfaces, foliage, or animals with the compound e.g. the parasite count is reduced, after a first administration, by an amount ranging from 5% to about 100%.
This can be evaluated by counting parasites (especially helminthes) directly after necroscopy of the host animal.
The reduction of parasite numbers, especially gastrointestinal helminth parasites can be alternatively measured in-directly by faecal egg or differential larval counts. In this case the effective amount of the compound is determined by the reduction of the number of excreted helminth eggs or larvae in the faeces of the treated animal before and after treatment. For an in vivo administration the compound according to this invention, is preferably administered to an animal in an effective amount which is synonymous with “pharmaceutically effective amount” or “anthelmintically effective amount”.
A single administration of a compound according to this invention is typically sufficient to treat a parasitic infection such as a helminth infection, preferably a nematode, cestode or trematode infection, more preferably a nematode infection. Although such a single dose is typically preferred, it is contemplated that multiple doses can be used. When the compound according to this invention is orally administered, the total dose to treat a disease such as a helminth infection is generally greater than about 0.01 mg/kg (i.e., milligram of compound according to this invention per kilogram body weight of the treated animal). In some such embodiments, the total dose is from about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg, from about 0.01 to about 50 mg/kg, from about 0.1 to about 25 mg/kg, or from about 1 to about 20. For sheep, for example, the dose is generally from about 0.5 to about 15 mg/kg, from about 1 to about 10 mg/kg. The same dose range may be suitable for other dosage routes. For example, in some embodiments, the same dose range is used for subcutaneous administration. The desired dose, however, may be less in some instances where the compound according to this invention is administered intravenously.
If the compound according to this invention is administered parenterally via an injection, the concentration of the compound according to this invention in the dosage form preferably is sufficient to provide the desired therapeutically effective amount of the compound according to this invention in a volume that is acceptable for parenteral administration.
Factors affecting the preferred dosage may include, for example, the parasite species infection to be treated and the development stages of the parasites, the type (e.g., species and breed), age, size, sex, diet, activity, and condition of the of the infected animal; the dosage route; pharmacological considerations, such as the activity, efficacy, pharmacokinetic, and toxicology profiles of the particular composition administered; and whether the compound according to this invention being administered as part of a combination of active ingredients. Thus, the preferred amount of the compound according to this invention can vary, and, therefore, can deviate from the typical dosages set forth above. Determining such dosage adjustments is generally within the skill of those in the art.
In a preferred embodiment the compounds according to this invention are used to treat a helminth infection caused by one or more helminths selected from the group consisting of a) cestodes: e.g. Anaplocephala spp.; Dipylidium spp.; Diphyllobothrium spp.; Echinococcus spp.; Moniezia spp.; Taenia spp.; b) trematodes e.g. Dicrocoelium spp.; Fasciola spp.; Paramphistomum spp.; Schistosoma spp.; or c) nematodes, e.g.; Ancylostoma spp.; Anecator spp.; Ascaridia spp.; Ascaris spp.; Brugia spp.; Bunostomum spp.; Capillaria spp.; Chabertia spp.; Cooperia spp.; Cyathostomum spp.; Cylicocyclus spp.; Cylicodontophorus spp.; Cylicostephanus spp.; Craterostomum spp.; Dictyocaulus spp.; Dipetalonema spp; Dirofilaria spp.; Dracunculus spp.; Enterobius spp.; Filaroides spp.; Habronema spp.; Haemonchus spp.; Heterakis spp.; Hyostrongylus spp.; Metastrongylus spp.; Meullerius spp. Necator spp.; Nematodirus spp.; Nippostrongylus spp.; Oesophagostomum spp.; Onchocerca spp.; Ostertagia spp.; Oxyuris spp.; Parascaris spp.; Stephanurus spp.; Strongylus spp.; Syngamus spp.; Toxocara spp.; Strongyloides spp.; Teladorsagia spp.; Toxascaris spp.; Trichinella spp.; Trichuris spp.; Trichostrongylus spp.; Triodontophorous spp.; Uncinaria spp., and/or Wuchereria spp.;
It is contemplated that the compounds according to this invention may be used to treat animals, including humans and non-human animals, especially non-human mammals. Such non-human mammals include, for example, livestock mammals (e.g., swine, livestock ruminats like bovines, sheep, goats, etc.), laboratory mammals (e.g., mice, rats, jirds, etc.), companion mammals (e.g., dogs, cats, equines, etc.), and wild and zoo mammals (e.g., buffalo, deer, etc.). It is contemplated that the compounds according to this invention also are suitable to treat non-mammals, such as poultry (e.g., turkeys, chickens, ducks, etc.) and fish (e.g., salmon, trout, koi, etc.).
In some embodiments, one or more, preferably one compound according to this invention is used to treat an infection by a helminth, such as a nematode, cestode or trematode, preferably a nematode (such as Haemonchus contortus), that is resistant to one or more other anthelmintic agents. In some embodiments, the compound according to this invention is active against a helminth, such as a nematode, cestode or trematode, preferably a nematode such as Haemonchus contortus, that is resistant to one or more of the following anthelmintics: an avermectin (e.g., ivermectin, selamectin, doramectin, abamectin, and eprinomectin); a milbemycin (moxidectin and milbemycin oxime); a pro-benzimidazole (e.g., febantel, netobimin, and thiophanate); a benzimidazole derivative, such as a thiazole benzimidazole derivative (e.g., thiabendazole and cambendazole) or a carbamate benzimidazole derivative (e.g., fenbendazole, albendazole (oxide), mebendazole, oxfendazole, parbendazole, oxibendazole, flubendazole, and triclabendazole); an imidazothiazole (e.g., levamisole and tetramisole); a tetrahydropyrimidine (morantel and pyrantel), an organophosphate (e.g., trichlorphon, haloxon, dichlorvos, and naphthalophos); a salicylanilide (e.g., closantel, oxyclozanide, rafoxanide, and niclosamide); a nitrophenolic compound (e.g., nitroxynil and nitroscanate); benzoenedisulphonamide (e.g., clorsulon); a pyrazinaisoquinoline (e.g., praziquantel and epsiprantel); a heterocyclic compound (e.g., piperazine, diethylcarbamazine, dichlorophen, and phenothiazine); an arsenical (e.g., thiacetarsamide, melorsamine, and arsenamide); cyclooctadepsipeptide (e.g., emodepside); and a paraherquamide.
In some such embodiments, for example, the compound according to this invention is active against a helminth (for example, Haemonchus contortus) resistant to an avermectin, such as ivermectin. In other embodiments, the compound according to this invention is alternatively or additionally active against a helminth (for example, Haemonchus contortus) resistant to a benzimidazole derivative, such as fenbendazole. In other embodiments, the compound according to this invention is alternatively or additionally active against a helminth (for example, Haemonchus contortus) resistant to levamisole. And, in other embodiments, the compound according to this invention is alternatively or additionally active against a helminth (for example, Haemonchus contortus) resistant to pyrantel.
The compounds according to this invention may be administered in various dosage forms. The term “dosage form” means that the compounds according to this invention are formulated into a product suitable for administering to the animal via the envisaged dosage route. Such dosage forms are sometimes referred to herein as formulations or pharmaceutical composition.
The formulation type chosen for a dosage form in any instance will depend upon the particular purpose envisaged and the physical, chemical and biological properties of the compound according to this invention.
Dosage forms useful in the current invention can be liquid, semi-solid or solid dosage forms.
Liquid dosage forms of the compounds are generally solutions, suspensions or emulsions. A solution is a mixture of two or more components that form a single phase that is homogeneous down to the molecular level. A suspension consists of insoluble solid particles dispersed in a liquid medium, with the solid particles accounting for about 0.5% to about 30% of the suspension. The liquid may be aqueous, oily, or both. An emulsion is a heterogeneous dispersion of one immiscible liquid in another; it relies on an emulsifying agent for stability. A dry powder (or granule) for reconstitution is reconstituted as a solution or as a suspension immediately prior to injection. The principal advantage of this dosage form is that it overcomes the problem of instability in solution or suspension.
One possible dosage route is the oral dosage route, wherein the compound according to this invention is administered via the mouth. Oral dosage forms suitable for oral administration comprise liquids (e.g. drench or drinking water formulations), semi-solids (e.g. pastes, gels), and solids (e.g. tablets, capsules, powders, granules, chewable treats, premixes and medicated blocks).
A drench is a liquid oral formulation that is administered directly into the mouth/throat of an animal, especially a livestock animal, by means of a “drench gun” or syringe or another suitable device. When the composition is administered in the animal recipient's drinking water or as a drench, it may be convenient to use a solution or suspension formulation. This formulation can be, for example, a concentrated suspension that is mixed with water or a dry preparation that is mixed and suspended in the water.
Semi-solid oral formulations (pastes or gels) are generally administered via an applicator directly into the mouth of an animal or mixed with the feed.
Solid oral formulations are either administered directly to an animal (tablet, capsule) or mixed with the feed or via medicated feed blocks.
When the oral formulation is administered via a non-human animal's feed, it may, for example, be fed as a discrete feed or as a chewable treat. Alternatively (or additionally), it may, for example, be intimately dispersed in the animal recipient's regular feed, used as a top dressing, or in the form of solid pellets, paste or liquid that is added to the finished feed. When the oral formulation is administered as a feed additive, it may be convenient to prepare a “premix” in which the oral formulation is dispersed in a liquid or solid carrier. This “premix” is, in turn, dispersed in the animal's feed using, for example, a conventional mixer.
Several modified-release delivery systems have been developed, that take advantage of the unique anatomy of the ruminant forestomach, i.e. for intra-ruminal administration. An intraruminal bolus is a specific formulation for ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, buffalos, camelids, deer etc). It is a veterinary delayed release delivery system which remains in the rumeno-reticular sac of a ruminant animal over an extended period of time and in which the therapeutically active substance has a predictable and delayed release pattern. Such intraruminal boluses are usually administered using a balling gun or another suitable device.
It is contemplated that the compounds according to this invention may alternatively be administered via non-oral dosage routes, such as topically (e.g., via a spot-on, pour-on or transdermal patch), or parenterally (e.g., subcutaneous injection, intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, etc.).
For instance the compounds according to this invention may be administered topically using a transdermal formulation (i.e. a formulation that passes through the skin). Alternatively the compounds according to this invention may be administered topically via the mucosa.
Topical dosage forms suitable for topical administration comprise liquids (e.g. bath, spray, spot-on), semi-solids (e.g. creams, gels), and solids (e.g. patches, powders, collars). Typical topical formulations for animals are liquid or semi-liquid dosage forms. Typical formulations for transdermal and mucosal administration include, for example, pour-ons, spot-ons, dips, sprays, mousses, shampoos, powders, gels, hydrogels, lotions, solutions, creams, ointments, dusting powders, dressings, foams, films, skin patches, limb bands, collars, ear tags, wafers, sponges, fibers, bandages, and microemulsions. When a liquid formulation is used topically on skin, it can be administered by, for example, pouring on (pour-on or spot-on), spreading, rubbing, atomizing, spraying, dipping, bathing, or washing.
The pour-on or spot-on methods, for example, comprise applying the formulation to a specific location of the skin or coat, such as on the neck or backbone of the animal. This may be achieved by, for example, applying a swab or drop of the pour-on or spot-on formulation to a relatively small area of the recipient animal's skin or coat (i.e., generally no greater than about 10% of the animal recipient's skin or coat). In some embodiments, the compound according to this invention is dispersed from the application site to wide areas of the fur due to the spreading nature of the components in the formulation and the animal's movements while, in parallel, being absorbed through the skin and distributed via the animal recipient's fluids and/or tissues.
Parenteral formulations and delivery systems for non-oral routes comprise liquids (e.g. solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and dry powders for reconstitution), semi-solids and solids (e.g. implants). The majority of implants that are used in veterinary medicine are compressed tablets or dispersed matrix systems in which the drug is uniformly dispersed within a nondegradable polymer or alternatively extrusion products.

Contemplated preservatives include, for example, phenol, alkyl esters of parahydroxybenzoic acid (e.g., methyl p-hydroxybenzoate (or “methylparaben”) and propyl p-hydroxybenzoate (or “propylparaben”)), sorbic acid, o-phenylphenol benzoic acid and the salts thereof, chlorobutanol, benzyl alcohol, thimerosal, phenylmercuric acetate and nitrate, nitromersol, benzalkonium chloride, and cetylpyridinium chloride.
Contemplated stabilizers include, for example, chelating agents and antioxidants.
Solid dosage forms also may comprise, for example, one or more excipients to control the release of the compounds. For example, it is contemplated that the compounds may be dispersed in, for example, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose. Some oral dosage forms (e.g., tablets and pills) also may be prepared with enteric coatings.
Topical dosage route uses, for example, a concentrated liquid or semi-liquid solution, suspension (aqueous or non-aqueous), emulsion (water-in-oil or oil-in-water), or microemulsion comprising a compounds dissolved, suspended, or emulgated in a pharmaceutically-acceptable liquid vehicle. In such embodiments, a crystallization inhibitor optionally may generally be present.
Such a pour-on or spot-on formulation can be prepared by dissolving, suspending, or emulsifying the compounds in a suitable skin-fitted solvent or solvent mixture. Other excipients may be included as well, such as, for example, a surfactant, colorant, antioxidant, stabilizer, adhesive, etc. Contemplated solvents include, for example, water, alkanol, glycol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, glycerin, benzyl alcohol, phenylethanol, phenoxyethanol, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, benzyl benzoate, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, aromatic and/or aliphatic hydrocarbons, vegetable or synthetic oil, DMF, liquid paraffin, silicone, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, or 2,2-dimethyl-4-oxy-methylene-1,3-dioxolane.
In some embodiments, a topical formulation (particularly a pour-on or spot-on formulation) comprises a carrier that promotes the absorption or penetration of the compounds through the skin into the blood stream, other bodily fluids (lymph), and/or body tissue (fat tissue). Contemplated examples of dermal penetration enhancers include, for example, dimethylsulfoxide, isopropyl myristate, dipropylene glycol pelargonate, silicone oil, aliphatic esters, triglycerides, and fatty alcohols.
Topical formulations also (or alternatively) may comprise, for example, one or more spreading agents. These substances act as carriers that assist in distributing an active ingredient over the animal recipient's coat or skin. They may include, for example, isopropyl myristate, dipropylene glycol pelargonate, silicone oils, fatty acid esters, triglycerides, and/or fatty alcohols. Various spreading oil/solvent combinations also may be suitable, such as, for example, oily solutions, alcoholic and isopropanolic solutions (e.g., solutions of 2-octyl dodecanol or oleyl alcohol), solutions of esters of monocarboxylic acids (e.g., isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, lauric acid oxalic ester, oleic acid oleyl ester, oleic acid decyl ester, hexyl laurate, oleyl oleate, decyl oleate, and caproic acid esters of saturated fatty alcohols having a carbon chain of 12 to 18 carbons), solutions of esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., dibutyl phthalate, diisopropyl isophthalate, adipic acid diisopropyl ester, and di-n-butyl adipate), or solutions of esters of aliphatic acids (e.g., glycols). When the formulation comprises a spreading agent, it also may be advantageous to include a dispersant, such as, for example, pyrrolidin-2-one, N-alkylpyrrolidin-2-one, acetone, polyethylene glycol or ether or ester thereof, propylene glycol, or synthetic triglycerides.
When formulated in, for example, an ointment, it is contemplated that the compounds may be mixed with, for example, either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. When formulated in a cream, it is contemplated that the compounds may be formulated with, for example, an oil-in-water cream base. In some instances, the aqueous phase of the cream base includes, for example at least about 30% (w/w) of a polyhydric alcohol, such as propylene glycol, butane-1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol, or a mixture thereof.
Injectable formulations may be prepared according to, for example, the known art using suitable solvents, solubilizing agents, protecting agents, dispersing agents, wetting agents, and/or suspending agents. Contemplated carrier materials include, for example, water, ethanol, butanol, benzyl alcohol, glycerin, 1,3-butanediol, Ringer's solution, isotonic sodium chloride solution, bland fixed oils (e.g., synthetic mono- or diglycerides), vegetable oil (e.g., corn oil), dextrose, mannitol, fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid), dimethyl acetamide, surfactants (e.g., ionic and non-ionic detergents), N-methylpyrrolidone, propylene glycol, and/or polyethylene glycols (e.g., PEG 400).

Further aspects regarding formulation of drugs and various excipients are found in, for example, Gennaro, A. R., et al., eds., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 20th Ed., 2000). Another source regarding formulation of drugs and various excipients is found in, for example, Liberman, H. A., et al., eds., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (Marcel Decker, New York, N.Y., 1980).
The concentration of the compounds according to this invention in the applied dosage form may vary widely depending on, for example, the dosage route. In general, the concentration is from about 1 to about 70% (by weight). In some such embodiments, for example, the concentration is from about 1 to about 50% (by weight), or from about 10 to about 50% (by weight). In other embodiments, the concentration is from about 35 to about 65% (by weight), from about 40 to about 60% (by weight), from about 45 to about 55% (by weight), or about 50% (by weight).
In another aspect the present invention thus provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anthelmintically effective amount of one or more, preferably one compound according to this invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
The formulation type chosen for a dosage form in any instance will depend upon the particular purpose envisaged and the physical, chemical and biological properties of the compound according to this invention.
The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions according to this invention are useful in treating parasitic infections such as helminth infections of animals. An “effective amount,” is the amount or quantity of a compound that is required to alleviate or reduce parasite numbers in an animal, and/or to inhibit the development of parasite infections in an animal, in whole or in part.
This amount is readily determined by observation or detection of the pathogen numbers such as parasite numbers both before and after contacting the sample of pathogens such as parasites including their stages with the compound according to this invention, directly and/or indirectly, e.g., by contacting articles, surfaces, foliage, or animals with the compound.
This can be evaluated by counting parasites (especially helminthes) directly after necroscopy of the host animal.
The reduction of parasite numbers, especially gastrointestinal helminth parasites can be alternatively measured in-directly by faecal egg or differential larval counts. In this case the effective amount of the compound is determined by the reduction of the number of excreted helminth eggs or larvae in the faeces of the treated animal before and after treatment. For an in vivo administration the compound according to this invention, is preferably administered to an animal in an effective amount which is synonymous with “pharmaceutically effective amount” or “anthelmintically effective amount”.
A single administration of a compound according to this invention is typically sufficient to treat a parasitic infection such as a helminth infection, preferably a nematode, cestode or trematode infection, more preferably a nematode infection. Although such a single dose is typically preferred, it is contemplated that multiple doses can be used. When the compound according to this invention is orally administered, the total dose to treat a disease such as a helminth infection is generally greater than about 0.01 mg/kg (i.e., milligram of compound according to this invention per kilogram body weight of the treated animal). In some such embodiments, the total dose is from about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg, from about 0.01 to about 50 mg/kg, from about 0.1 to about 25 mg/kg, or from about 1 to about 20. For sheep, for example, the dose is generally from about 0.5 to about 15 mg/kg, from about 1 to about 10 mg/kg. The same dose range may be suitable for other dosage routes. For example, in some embodiments, the same dose range is used for subcutaneous administration. The desired dose, however, may be less in some instances where the compound according to this invention is administered intravenously.
If the compound according to this invention is administered parenterally via an injection, the concentration of the compound according to this invention in the dosage form preferably is sufficient to provide the desired therapeutically effective amount of the compound according to this invention in a volume that is acceptable for parenteral administration.
Factors affecting the preferred dosage may include, for example, the parasite species infection to be treated and the development stages of the parasites, the type (e.g., species and breed), age, size, sex, diet, activity, and condition of the of the infected animal; the dosage route; pharmacological considerations, such as the activity, efficacy, pharmacokinetic, and toxicology profiles of the particular composition administered; and whether the compound according to this invention being administered as part of a combination of active ingredients. Thus, the preferred amount of the compound according to this invention can vary, and, therefore, can deviate from the typical dosages set forth above. Determining such dosage adjustments is generally within the skill of those in the art.
Examples of Contemplated Combination Therapies
The methods and pharmaceutical compositions of this invention encompass methods wherein a compound according to this invention is the sole active ingredient administered to the recipient animal. It is contemplated, however, that the methods and pharmaceutical compositions also encompass combination therapies wherein a compound is administered in combination with one or more other pharmaceutically acceptable active ingredients. The other active ingredient(s) may be, for example, one or more other compounds according to this invention. Alternatively (or additionally), the other active ingredient(s) may be one or more pharmaceutically acceptable compounds that are not compounds according to this invention. The other active ingredient(s) may target the same and/or different parasites and conditions.
Contemplated active ingredient(s) that may be administered in combination with the compounds include, for example, pharmaceutically acceptable anthelmintics, insecticides and acaricides, insect growth regulators, anti-inflammatories, anti-infectives, hormones, dermatological preparations (e.g., antiseptics and disinfectants), and immunobiologicals (e.g., vaccines and antisera) for disease prevention.

A: General Description of Synthesis of Compounds as Described in this Specification
The compounds as described in this specification can be obtained by various synthesis routes. A person skilled in the art will choose the synthetic route to obtain a compound as described in this specification depending on the nature of its radicals as defined in relation to Formula (I). This is illustrated in the following schemes, which are merely illustrative but not limiting the disclosure in any way.

Exemplary conditions: a: palladium acetate, 2,2′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINAP), caesium carbonate, dioxane; b: oxalyl chloride, dichloromethane (DCM), dimethylformamide (DMF) then DCM, triethylamine; c: 1-[bis(dimethylamino)methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridinium-3-oxide hexafluorophosphate (HATU), diisopropylethylamine, DMF, room temperature; d: Lawesson's reagent, tetrahydrofuran (THF), 130° C.
A compound of general formula 1-V can be synthesized as shown in scheme 1: in route 1 a heteroaryl compound 1-I is reacted with a cyclic diamine 1-II to give 1-III. 1-I contains a suitable leaving group X, which is preferably a halogen like chloro or bromo. The reaction with 1-II is done preferably under Pd-catalysis employing a Pd-containing molecule like palladium acetate or tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (Pd2(DBA)3), a phosphorus-containing ligand like 2-2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINAP) or 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-2′,6′-di-isopropoxy-1,1′-biphenyl (RuPhos) or 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-3,6-dimethoxy-2′,4′,6′-tri-isopropyl-1,1′biphenyl (BrettPhos), a base like caesium carbonate or sodium tert-butoxide in a solvent like an ether-containing solvent like diethylether, dioxane or tetrahedrofuran, preferably dioxane or an inert solvent like toluene and preferably at elevated temperatures. 1-II is employed preferably in excess. Depending on the nature of 1-I the leaving group X might be displaced by 1-II or 1-VI under conditions for nucleophilic substitutions. For example, if X is a leaving group like halogen or a nitro group and Y1-Y5 are substituted by electron withdrawing substituents, the reaction can be carried out in a solvent like dioxane or, for example, a high boiling solvent like ethyleneglycolmonomethyl ether, optionally with addition of a base like, for example, ethyldiisopropylamine. Or the reaction can be carried out without solvent by using the diamine 1-II in excess with the optional addition of a base like, for example, potassium carbonate. Also if Y1 and/or Y4 in 1-I is a nitrogen, such a nucleophilic substitution reaction can be used.
The diamine can be protected with a suitable protecting group as in 1-VI of route 1a. Suitable protecting groups (PG) for the nitrogen in 1-VI include, but are not limited to, preferably tert-butyl carbamate (Boc), benzyl carbamate (Cbz) and the like. A protected diamine 1-VI can be reacted under the same conditions as 1-II. The protecting group in the intermediate 1-VII can be removed by suitable methods known to a person skilled in the art; if PG is a Boc-group, for example, the protecting group can be removed by an acid like trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid to give the amine 1-III. Other suitable methods for protection and deprotection are described in, for example, Green and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1999. 1-III is acylated with an unsaturated acid derivative 1-IV to give the final product 1-V. 1-IV can be accompanied by the isomeric 1-IVa, so that a mixture of 1-IV and 1-IVa is used in the acylation step. In this case a mixture of 1-V and 1-Va is formed that can be separated by methods known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by chromatography. Or 1-IVa can be used in a pure form in the acylation step to give 1-Va. Thus, if in the following descriptions and schemes the acid 1-IV is mentioned, the same applies for the isomeric acid 1-IVa, either in its pure form or in form of a mixture of 1-IV and 1-IVa. The same applies for reaction products derived from 1-IV: these can be obtained in pure form if the isomerically pure 1-IV or 1-IVa are used in the acylation step, or they can be obtained as a mixture if a mixture of 1-IV and 1-IVa is used and might be separated then by methods known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by chromatography. There are many acylation methods known to a person skilled in the art: 1-IV can be converted to an acid chloride with oxalyl chloride, thionyl chloride or the like which can be isolated or used directly to react with 1-III in the presence of a base like triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine to give 1-V. The base might also be polymer-supported to ease work-up. The base might be used in excess, the excess might be removed using aqueous work-up or polymer-supported reagents like polymer-supported acid chloride. The acid 1-IV can also be reacted directly with the amine 1-III using coupling reagents like N,N,N′N′-tetramethyl-O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-uronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), N,N,N′N-tetramethyl-O-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-uronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt), N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or the like. Other suitable amide coupling procedures are described in Goodman, M.; Felix, A.; Moroder, L.; Toniolo, C. in volume E22a of Methods of Organic Chemistry (Houben-Weyl), Synthesis of Peptides and Peptidomimetics, 4th edition, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart—New York, 2002. In an alternative synthetic route (route 2) the diamine can also be used as 1-VIII where the other nitrogen is protected. Coupling with 1-IV can be done as described for 1-III followed by deprotection as described for 1-VII yielding 1-X which is reacted with 1-1 as described for the reaction of 1-I with 1-VI. 1-V and 1-Va can be converted into their thiocarbonyl analogue 1-XI and 1-XIa by treatment with, for example, Lawesson's reagent under microwave heating. A compound of general formula 1-V can be substituted at Y1-Y5. This substituent can already be present in the heteroaryl compound 1-I. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that it can also be introduced in a compound 1-VII, 1-III or 1-V. For example, Y1-Y5 in 1-I might be substituted by a potential leaving group like, for example, halogen, which can be replaced by another group, for example a nucleophilic group in, for example, a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Or, for example, Y1-Y5 in 1-III might be substituted by a potential leaving group like, for example, halogen, which can be replaced by another group, for example a nucleophilic group in, for example, a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Or, for example, Y1-Y5 in 1-VII might be substituted by a potential leaving group like, for example, halogen, which can be replaced by another group, for example a nucleophilic group in, for example, a nucleophilic substitution reaction. 1-I might also be substituted at Y1-Y5 with a group that can react with a group present in the reaction partner 1-VI or 1-II like, for example, the amino group in 1-II or 1-VI. In this case the reacting group in 1-I can be protected by a protecting group by methods known to a person skilled in the art. For example, 1-I can be substituted by an acyl group. This acyl group can be protected as, for example, an oxolan prior to the reaction with 1-II or 1-VI and deprotected by, for example, aqueous acid after the reaction with 1-II or 1-VII as described in, for example, Green and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1999. The same applies for the following schemes in an analogous way. The heteroaryl compound 1-I can be substituted at an N-Atom with oxygen, thus being a heteroaryl-N-oxide, for example a quinoline-N-oxide or a pyridine-N-oxide. Methods for the synthesis of such heteroaryl-N-oxides are described in, for example, R. Kreher (editor), volume E7a of Methods of Organic Chemistry (Houben-Weyl), Hetarenes II, part 1, 4th edition, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart—New York, 1991. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that the synthetic transformations described in scheme 1 result in this case in the corresponding heteroaryl-N-oxides of heteroaryl compounds of general formula 1-V and 1-Va, for example.

Exemplary conditions: a: sodium borohydride, methanol; b: pyridine, piperidine; c: ethanol, HCl; d: phosphorus pentoxide; e: NaOH; f: pyridine, piperidine, reflux; g: LiN(Si(CH3)3)2, THF; h: sodium borohydride, toluene; i: phosphorus pentoxide
The unsaturated acids used for acylation (1-IV in scheme 1) can be synthesized in several ways, many of which are described in: J. Falbe in volume E5 of Methods of Organic Chemistry (Houben-Weyl), Carboxylic acids, part 1, 4th edition, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart—New York, 1985. The preferred route will be chosen by a person skilled in the art according to the nature of the radicals R1, R2 and R3. For example, in scheme 2, if R2 is H and R1 is alkyl preferably route 2 will be chosen. If R2 is H and R1 is alkyl substituted by halogen like F and/or Cl, route 1 or 3 will preferably be chosen. According to route 2 in scheme 2 malonic acid 2-III is condensed with an aldehyde or ketone 2-VII to yield directly the crotonic acid 1-IV, which can be accompanied by the isomeric 1-IVa. Suitable reaction conditions include heating the reactants in a solvent, preferably pyridine with the addition of piperidine. According to route 1, an ester is reduced to the hemiacetal 2-II, which is condensed with malonic acid in a manner analogous to route 1. Alternatively, the aldehyde 2-VIIa can be condensed with malonic acid to give the hydroxyacid 2-IV. The hydroxyacid 2-IV might be isolated or used directly in a dehydration step to yield 1-IV. Preferably, the hydroxyacid will be esterified to 2-V which is dehydrated to 2-VI and hydrolysed to the acid 1-IV. Methods for the dehydration of 2-IV and 2-V are described in, for example, M. Jagodzinska et al., Tetrahedron 63 (2007), 2042-2046; P. F. Bevilaqua, J. Org. Chem. 94 (1984), 1430-1434 and include treatment of a hydroxyacid or hydroxyester like 2-IV or 2-V with P2O5 at preferably elevated temperatures or treatment with diethylazodicarboxylate and triphenylphosphine. According to route 3 an ester 2-I is condensed with a CH-acidic ester 2-VIII to give a beta-keto ester 2-IX which is reduced to the hydroxyester 2-X. Methods for the condensation of an ester with another CH-acidic ester are known to a person skilled in the art, as well as methods for the reduction of a keto group to a hydroxy group and are described in, for example, M. Jagodzinska et al., Tetrahedron 63 (2007), 2042-2046; T. Kitazume, J. Fluorine Chemistry 42 (1989), 17-29. 2-X is then converted to the crotonic acid 1-IV in a manner analogous to the one described above for 2-V. In all of the described routes, 1-IV might be accompanied by the isomeric 1-IVa. Depending on the nature of the radicals R1 and R2 the isomers I-IV and I-IVa can be formed in varying proportions. For example if R2 is H, the E-isomer I-IV is predominantly formed. The isomeric 1-IV and 1-IVa can be separated by methods known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by chromatography and can be used as pure isomers in subsequent reactions. Or 1-IV and 1-IVa can be used as a mixture in subsequent reactions and the resulting isomeric products can be separated in a later step. Unsaturated acids with R1=SF5 and R2=H and R3=H can also be obtained as described in, for example, V. K. Brel, Synthesis 2006, 339-343. Unsaturated acids with R1=alkylthio and alkylsulfonyl and R2=H and R3=H can also be obtained as described in, for example, J. T. Moon, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Letters 20 (2010) 52-55. Many unsaturated acids 1-IV used as starting materials are also commercially available by a large number of vendors as listed in, for example, the Symyx Available Chemicals Directory (ACD) or SciFinder (ACS).

Compounds of general formula 3-IV can be synthesized as shown in scheme 3: a monoprotected diamino compound 3-1 is reacted with a heteroaryl compound 1-I containing a suitable leaving group X as described in scheme 1. Suitable protecting groups are the ones which have already been described in scheme 1. Possible reaction conditions include Pd-catalysis using, for example, palladium acetate or Pd2(DBA)3, a phosphorus-containing ligand like BINAP or RuPhos or BrettPhos, a base like caesium carbonate or sodium tert-butoxide in a solvent like an ether-containing solvent like diethylether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, preferably dioxane. The protecting group is removed and 3-III is acylated with 1-IV as already described in scheme 1. 1-IV can be accompanied by the isomeric 1-IVa, so that a mixture of 1-IV and 1-IVa is used in the acylation step. In this case a mixture of 3-IV and 3-IVa is formed that can be separated by methods known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by chromatography. Or 1-IVa can be used in a pure form in the acylation step to give 3-IVa. The sequence might be altered as shown in route 2: the monoprotected diamine 3-V is acylated first, deprotection as described above and coupling with 1-I follow to give 3-IV. Also here 1-IV can be accompanied by the isomeric 1-IVa, so that a mixture of 1-IV and 1-IVa is used in the acylation step. In this case a mixture of 3-VI and 3-VIa is formed after acylation that can be separated by methods known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by chromatography, or separation can be done after deprotection to 3-VII and 3-VIIa or after reaction to the final product 3-IV and 3-IVa. Or 1-IVa can be used in a pure form in the acylation step to give 3-VIa. The heteroaryl compound 1-I can be substituted at Y1-Y5 with a group that might react with an amine like 3-I, 3-VII or 3-VIIa. In this case the reacting group can be protected by a protecting group by methods known to a person skilled in the art. For example, 1-I can be substituted by an acyl group. This acyl group can be protected as, for example, an oxolan prior to the reaction with 3-I, 3-VII or 3-VIIa and deprotected by, for example, aqueous acid after the reaction with 3-I, 3-VII or 3-VIIa as described in, for example, Green and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1999. 3-IV and 3-IVa can be converted into their thiocarbonyl analogue 3-VIII and 3-VIIIa by treatment with, for example, Lawesson's reagent under microwave heating.

A compound of general formula 4-VI can be synthesized as shown in scheme 4: In route 1 a heteroaryl compound 1-I (wherein Y1 is N and Y2-Y5 are C) containing a suitable leaving group X like bromine is reacted with an alkenylboronic acid derivative 4-I under Pd-catalysis to give 4-III which is hydrogenated to give 4-IV. 4-I can be obtained from the triflate 4-II as described in, for example, Paul R. Eastwood, Tetrahedron Letters 41 (2000), 3705-3708. Depending on the nature of the heteroaryl compound 1-I, 4-III can be obtained via route 2: a heteroaryl compound 1-I (wherein Y2 is N and Y1, Y3-Y5 are C) containing a suitable leaving group X like an organostannyl is reacted with the cyclic enol triflate 4-II under Pd-catalysis to give 4-III. The protecting group in 4-IV is removed as described in scheme 1 and 4-V is acylated with the unsaturated acid 1-IV as described in scheme 1 to give the final product 4-VI. 1-IV in the acylation step can be accompanied by the isomeric 1-IVa, so that a mixture of 1-IV and 1-IVa is used in the acylation step. In this case a mixture of 4-VI and 4-VIa is formed that can be separated by methods known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by chromatography. Or 1-IVa can be used in a pure form in the acylation step to give 4-VIa. 4-VI and 4-VIa can be converted into their thiocarbonyl analogue 4-VII and 4-VIIa by treatment with, for example, Lawesson's reagent under microwave heating.

A compound of general formula 5-V can be synthesized as shown in scheme 5: a cyclic carboxylic ester 5-I containing an amino function is reacted with a heteroaryl compound 1-I containing a suitable leaving group as already described in scheme 1 to give 5-II. The reaction can be carried out, for example, in a solvent like propyleneglycolmonomethylether at elevated temperatures like at 150° C. 5-II is reacted with a dialkyl phosphonate in the presence of a base like lithium diisopropylamide in a solvent like THF at a temperature like −78° C. Similar reactions are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,024,179. The ketophosphonate 5-IV can be reacted with the carbonyl compound 2-VII in a Wittig-Horner reaction under conditions such as, for example, described in S. V. Ley, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1., 1997, 3299-3313 using a base like diisopropylethylamine in the presence of lithium chloride in a solvent like acetonitrile. Depending on the nature of the radicals R1 and R2 the isomeric final products 5-V and 5-Va can be formed in differing proportions. For example, if R2 is H and R3 is H, then the E-isomer 5-VI is formed predominantly. If a mixture of 5-V and 5-Va is formed, this can be separated by methods known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by chromatography. 5-V and 5-Va can be converted into their thiocarbonyl analogue 5-VI and 5-VIa by treatment with, for example, Lawesson's reagent under microwave heating.

Compounds of general formula 6-IV can be synthesized as shown in scheme 6: In route 2 a heteroaryl compound 6-1 is reacted with a diamine 1-II to give 6-III. 6-I contains a suitable leaving group like chloro, bromo or a nitro group. The reaction can be carried out in a solvent like an alcohol, or a diol-derived solvent like ethyleneglycolmonomethyl ether or in a solvent like dioxane or can be carried without solvent. A base might be present like, for example, potassium carbonate. The reaction is done preferably at elevated temperatures and the diamine 1-II is used preferably in excess. The diamine can be monoprotected as 1-VI (protection has been described in scheme 1) and used in route 1 to give 6-II. Deprotection under conditions already described in scheme 1 then gives the amino compound 6-III. Such a nucleophilic substitution of 6-I is suitable if 6-I is a pyrrol (Y7 or Y10 is N), thiophene (Y7 or Y10 is S), furane (Y7 or Y10 is O) or a benz-annulated derivative of these such as benzothiophene, benzofurane or benzopyrrole, wherein these heteroaromates are preferably substituted by electron-withdrawing substituents. Particularly suitable is such a reaction if 6-I is an imidazol (Y7 and Y10 are both N and one N is preferably substituted by preferably an alkyl group), a thiazol (Y7 and Y10 are N and S, respectively) or an oxazol (Y7 and Y10 are N and O, respectively) or a benz-annulated derivative thereof. Alternatively, the reaction between 6-I and the amine 1-II or 1-VII can be carried out under Pd-catalysis using a Pd source like, for example, palladium acetate or Pd2(DBA)3, a phosphorus-containing ligand like BINAP or RuPhos or BrettPhos, a base like caesium carbonate or sodium tert-butoxide as described in, for example, Hooper, M. W., et al. J. Org. Chem. 68, (2003), 2861-2873 or Charles, M. D., et al., Org. Lett. 7(18), (2005), 3965-3968. Pd-catalysis is especially useful if the heteroaromate 6-I is not activated towards nucleophilic substitution by carrying an electron withdrawing substituent or if neither Y7 nor Y10 is a heteroatom, but also in cases where 6-I is suitable for nuceleopilic substitution by 1-II or 1-VI as described above, Pd-catalysis can be used alternatively. 6-III is then acylated by the unsaturated acid 1-V to give the amide 6-IV, as described in scheme 1. 1-V can be accompanied by the isomeric 1-Va so that a mixture of 6-IV and 6-IVa is obtained that can be separated by, for example, chromatography. 6-IV and 6-IV can be converted into their thiocarbonyl analogue 6-V and 6-Va by treatment with, for example, Lawesson's reagent under microwave heating

Alternative synthesis routes for compounds of general formula 6-VI are shown in schemes 7 and 8. The appropriate route can be selected based on the nature of the heteroaromatic radical in 6-VI and has been described in, for example, Kondo, T. et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. 16 (2008), 1613-1631. For example, a 1,3-thiazol 7-V can be synthesized starting from the mono-protected diamine 1-VI which is converted to the thiocarbamate derivative 7-I which is cyclized with the α-chlorocarbonyl compound 7-II to the thiazol 7-III. Deprotection and acylation as already described in the preceding schemes gives the final compound 7-V. In analogy to what has been described in scheme 1, 7-V can be accompanied by its double bond isomer and 7-V can be converted to its thioamide analogue, which also applies to the other final compounds described in schemes 7 and 8 (7-X, 8-V, 8-IX). Starting from 1-VI the isothiazol 7-X can be obtained by a reaction sequence starting by treatment of 1-VI with 7-VI the synthesis of which is described in, for example, Schroth, W. et al., Z. Chem. 25(1) (1985), 20-21. Treatment with iodine then gives the isothiazole derivative 7-VIII. Deprotection and acylation as described above and in the preceding schemes then gives the final compound 7-X. 1,3-Thiazoles of general formula 8-V can be obtained by the following reaction sequence: 1-VI is acylated with a N-protected amino acid 8-X, wherein the protecting group in 8-X is orthogonal to the protecting group in 1-VI, for example the nitrogen in 8-X is protected by a Cbz-group and the nitrogen in 1-VI is protected by a Boc-group. The protecting group of the amino acid-derived nitrogen is removed, for example by hydrogenation, and the resulting free amine is acylated to give 8-II. Cyclization then gives the thiazole derivatives 8-III, deprotection and acylation as described above gives the final compound 8-V. An oxadiazole of general formula 8-IX can be obtained by the following reaction sequence: 1-VI is converted to the carbonitrile derivative 8-VI which is cyclized to the oxadiazole 8-VII. Deprotection and acylation as described above gives the final compound 8-IX.

A compound of the general formula 9-V can be synthesized as shown in scheme 9: A compound 9-I which contains an NH-group is reacted with an alkylsulfonic acid chloride 9-II in the presence of a suitable base like triethylamine in a solvent like dichloromethane. 9-I can be synthesized, for example, according to schemes 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8. The sulfonamide 9-III is deprotonated with a strong base like lithium diisopropylamide, lithium hexamethyldisilazide or n-butyllithium at low temperature like −78° C. and reacted with diethylchlorophosphate to give 9-IV. 9-IV is then reacted with a carbonyl compound 2-VII to give the final product 9-V. The last step can be carried out in the presence of a strong base like sodium hydride or in the presence of lithium bromide and a strong base like 1,8-diaza-bicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-en (DBU) as described in, for example, Z. Wróbel, Tetrahedron 57 (2001), 7899-7907. Alternatively, the hemiacetal 2-II might be used instead of the carbonyl compound 2-VIII. Depending on the nature of the radicals R1, R2 and R3 the isomeric final products 9-V and 9-Va can be formed in differing proportions. For example, if R2 is H and R3 is H, then the E-isomer 9-V is formed predominantly. If a mixture of 9-V and 9-Va is formed, this can be separated by methods known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. by chromatography.

E. Biological Examples Activity Against Ascaridia galli and Oesophagostomum dentatum
Anthelmintic effects of compounds of this invention were tested in vitro using gut-welling larval stages of two parasitic nematode species: Ascaridia galli (intestinal roundworm of chicken), larval stage 3 (“L3”); and Oesophagostomum dentatum (nodular worm of swine), larval stages 3 and 4 (respectively “L3” and “L4”). When conducting these experiments, DMSO-solutions of various concentrations of compounds of this invention were prepared and incubated in 96-well microtiter plates. The parasites were then distributed at 20 larvae per well. The anthelmintic effects were classified by microscopic examination. The microscopic examination included assessing mortality, damage, motility, progression of development, and neutral red uptake by the larvae in comparison to a DMSO-control. The anthelmintic effects were defined by the minimum effective concentration (“MEC”), which is the concentration by which at least one of the larvae shows mortality, damage, change in motility, change in progression of development, or no neutral red uptake. The following compounds showed activity against one or both of the nematodes with an MEC of 50 μM or less: A-1-A-18, A-21, A-25-A-27, A-29-A-31, A-34, A-35, A-38-A-50, A-55-A-59, A-61-A-131, B-4-B-35, C-1-C-18, D-1-D-18, D-21-D-25, D-33, D-36-D-47, E-2, E-4.
DEFINITIONS
The term “alkyl” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means an acyclic (i.e. straight-chain or branched-chain) or cyclic saturated hydrocarbyl substituent (i.e., a substituent containing only carbon and hydrogen) which unless otherwise specified typically contains from 1 to 6 carbon atoms (indicated as “C1-C6 alkyl” or “C1-C6 alkyl”), and even more typically from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms. Examples of such substituents include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, iso-pentyl, hexyl, and octyl. For instance the term “C1-C6-alkyl” includes but is not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, methylcyclopropyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, cyclobutyl, methylcyclobutyl, n-pentyl, iso-pentyl, neo-pentyl, cyclopentyl, methylcyclopentyl, n-hexyl, iso-hexyl and cyclohexyl.
Typically preferred alkyl substituents are acyclic alkyl substituents such as acyclic C1-C6alkyl which includes but is not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, iso-pentyl, neo-pentyl, n-hexyl and iso-hexyl, more preferred are methyl and ethyl, even more preferred is typically methyl. For R1 cyclic alkyl substituents such as cyclic C1-C6alkyl are also preferred, however acyclic alkyl substituents such as acyclic C1-C6alkyl are even more preferred.
The term “alkenyl” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means a straight- or branched-chain hydrocarbyl substituent containing one or more double bonds and unless otherwise specified typically contains from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, even more typically from 2 to 4 carbon atoms. Examples of such substituents include ethenyl (vinyl); 2-propenyl; 3-propenyl; 1,4-pentadienyl; 1,4-butadienyl; 1-butenyl; 2-butenyl; 3-butenyl; and 2-hexenyl.
The term “alkynyl” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means a straight- or branched-chain hydrocarbyl substituent containing one or more triple bonds and unless otherwise specified typically from 2 to 6 atoms, even more typically from 2 to 4 carbon atoms. Examples of such substituents include ethynyl, 2-propynyl, 3-propynyl, 1-butynyl, 2-butynyl, 3-butynyl, and 2-hexynyl.
The term “halogen” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means a fluorine radical (“fluoro”, which may be depicted as F), chlorine radical (“chloro”, which may be depicted as Cl), bromine radical (“bromo”, which may be depicted as Br), or iodine radical (“iodo”, which may be depicted as I). Typically, fluoro or chloro is preferred.
The term “alkylsulfoxyl” means an alkyl as defined above bound to an (S═O) group such that if this “alkylsulfoxyl” is bound to, for example, another alkyl group, a sulfoxide is formed.
When a chemical formula is used to describe a mono-valent substituent, the dash on the left side of the formula indicates the portion of the substituent that has the free valence. To illustrate, benzene substituted with —C(O)—OH has the following structure:
Figure US09260441-20160216-C00046
When a chemical formula is used to describe a di-valent (or “linking”) component between two other components of a depicted chemical structure (the right and left components), the leftmost dash of the linking component indicates the portion of the linking component that is bound to the left component in the depicted structure. The rightmost dash, on the other hand, indicates the portion of the linking component that is bound to the right component in the depicted structure.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used adjectivally to mean that the modified noun is appropriate for use in a pharmaceutical product. When it is used, for example, to describe a salt, solvate, N-oxide, active compound or excipient, it characterizes the salt, solvate, N-oxide, active compound or excipient as being compatible with the other ingredients of the composition, and not deleterious to the intended recipient animal, e.g. to the extent that the benefit(s) outweigh(s) the deleterious effect(s).
The above detailed description of preferred embodiments is intended only to acquaint others skilled in the art with the invention, its principles, and its practical application so that others skilled in the art may adapt and apply the invention in its numerous forms, as they may be best suited to the requirements of a particular use. This invention, therefore, is not limited to the above embodiments, and may be variously modified.
